This project transforms unused spaces in rural elementary schools into child-centered areas for play and learning. It is being promoted through the sponsorship of NH Nonghyup Bank and in cooperation with Good Neighbors, a global NGO specializing in children's rights.

"Green Ladder" symbolizes a ladder of opportunity that helps children and adolescents in rural areas overcome the limitations of their educational and welfare environments and move toward the future.

"Space" conveys the meaning of "a place where we are the owners," indicating that children have directly participated in its creation from the planning stage.

The newly completed "Space" at Seodo Elementary School has been established as a multifunctional play and experience area where children can freely run, play, and cultivate creativity and emotional intelligence.

It is equipped with facilities for physical activity, such as slides, trampolines, and a ball pool, as well as elements for a variety of activities, including board games and music experiences.

Kim Daeseop, Principal of Seodo Elementary School, said, "We have long regretted the lack of spaces where children could play freely, so we are truly grateful that such a bright and safe place has been created."

Oh Juhyun, Head of NH Nonghyup Bank Chungnam Headquarters, stated, "I hope this space created through the Green Ladder × Space project will serve as a starting point to open up new possibilities for rural children. We will continue our social contribution activities to promote the sustainable development of local communities and rural areas."
